"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

It is probably to his advantage to acclimate himself to a new school, watch the team play, learn the system, work with the coaches to the extent he can, and be comfortable going into the season when he hopes to play.

If Michigan has defined what "maize" looks like, that's fine with me. I would like it if we just stuck with that color instead of going through a variety of them. And if people don't like the actual color, well, so it goes--the colors are "maize and blue" not yellow and blue or chartreuse and blue (or whatever some of those recent colors actually are). Let's just use the real colors instead of the colors we would individually pick out if we had a choice.

That was a fairer way of deciding who goes to the Rose Bowl than having the athletic directors decide that, gee, Michigan outplayed Ohio State, and Ohio State went last, but Dennis Franklin has a broken arm, and maybe Ohio State has a better chance of winning, and, by the way, the MSU guy hates Michigan and doesn't want them to go, so what the hell, let's send Ohio State and screw Michigan.

I can't speak for C-bus, but I have been driving in NE Ohio for over 10 years with a UM vanity plate and a Block M decal in my back window and a Michigan license plate frame, and the only time I was ever pulled over I absolutely deserved it. Perhaps the roads around C-bus during late November are a different story, but I can't imagine you will have any issues.

He would have been great if he had sat as a freshman behind Brady and played at least three years after that. I watched the second half higjlights from the game linked above just to see the reverse rollout to seal the win over OSU one more time. Awesome.

If Brady or the Pats can get an appeal before a truly neutral arbitrator, the likelihood that the league wins this one is really low. The league has the burden of proof. Hard to see anyone neutral saying that they met it--not to mention how grossly excessive the penalty is even if there was an effort to deflate the balls.

It's one thing for a QB like Ruddock who expects to sit behind an underclassman; it's another for a DB where there are often 5 or even 6 on the field at once, and there was little doubt Blake would get his share of PT. Not sure why you leave your friends and team under those circumstances, but he must have had his reasons and it's a free country, so good luck to him.

If Brady knew the balls were underinflated, he may decide he likes them with a little more air after he torched the Colts in the second half with fully inflated footballs, and had a nice game in the SB under like conditions. Sure, you shouldn't look for little edges outside the rules, but given how those games unfolded "what difference, at this point, does it make," to quote one Presidential candidate.

Interesting study that guy did, but he didn't assess (1) which coaches played for the tie instead of the win in big games more often (expected leader: Ara) and (2) which coaches apparent lack of concern for student safety resulted in deaths (expected leader: Brian).
